Restoring oil, gas and electricity production are central to Syria’s post-war reconstruction. But ongoing western sanctions continue to hamper Damascus’s efforts.

State of Play

After seven years of war, Syria may finally be approaching the endgame. President Assad’s government is turning its attention to post-war recovery.

But EU and US sanctions will make attracting investment an uphill task – all eyes are on Russia.
